The Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team faces St. Cloud State in a home-and home series this weekend in what is a must sweep. Minnesota trails Ohio State atop the WCHA standings by mere hundreds of percentage points but is ranked #1 in both the Pairwise and the National Polls. The winners of 19 in a row over the Huskies, the Gophers can not afford to play down to their opponent and see another long term wining streak fall, along with their conference title chances.
Minnesota did what they needed to do at home last weekend getting a sweep over Bemidji State.
